Description
The BD Vacutainer® Safety-Lok™ Blood Collection Set is an advanced, single-use device engineered to enhance safety and efficiency in venous blood collection and short-term intravenous administration. Designed by BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company), this sterile set is equipped with a forward-shielding safety mechanism that significantly reduces the risk of needlestick injuries. The safety shield, which is translucent yellow, can be activated immediately after use, typically with one hand, and locks over the needle with an audible click.
Key Features
- Needle Options: Available in three gauge sizes—21G (green), 23G (light blue/cyan), and 25G (blue)—each needle is 0.75 inches in length and crafted from medical-grade stainless steel. The needles are silicone-lubricated to ensure smooth insertion.
- Tubing Lengths: Offers tubing in 7-inch and 12-inch lengths, both translucent to allow clear visualization of blood flashback.
- Luer Adapter: Comes with or without a luer adapter, and some versions include a pre-attached holder to comply with OSHA single-use holder guidelines.
Material and Packaging
- Latex-Free: The set is free from latex and DEHP, making it suitable for a wide range of healthcare environments.
- Sterilization: Each unit is sterilized using ethylene oxide and individually packaged, with packaging options of 25, 50, or 200 units per box.
Intended Use

Instructions for Use
Healthcare professionals are advised to activate the safety shield immediately after venipuncture by pushing it forward until it locks. The device should be disposed of in approved sharps containers following universal precautions. It is intended for single use only and should not be reused. Proper storage away from direct sunlight and ensuring packaging integrity are also recommended.
